    IntelliPH and IntelliChem insight

    I've had my Intellichem system about 18 months ago and absolutely love it. It's part of an EasyTouch / Clean n Clear / Intelliflow / ScreenLogic system that I installed myself. I use Intellichem to monitor ORP and automatically inject liquid chlorine. I set my ORP to 700 and my CYA is about...

    Polaris P19 Quick Disconnect = Not so fast to install

    Wish I had read this thread earlier. After a year of normal operation, my hose flew off the top of the pump. (Red retainer clip still in place). Probably lost 2,000 gallons or water. It totally soaked the inside of my pool shed -- it's lucky no one was electrocuted. Unfortunately, it fried...

    Intellichem flow cell installation question...

    In the end the Pentair tech rep suggested that I plumb the flow cell outlet before the pump, and then partially close the outlet valve to make sure I don't have a vacuum in the chamber that could damage the sensors. So I closed the outlet valvle until the flow magnet just barely closed the...

    Intellichem flow cell installation question...

    So I spoke to Pentair tech support, and they suggested that option 2 is acceptable. So I installed it all, but now I'm having trouble with my flow cell... The Intellichem manual suggests putting the inlet line just after the filter and the outlet line after the heater -- guessing this is to...

    Intellichem flow cell installation question...

    I'm installing an Intellichem system for automated liquid chlorine dispensing. Although I purchased a two-pump Intellichem system, I haven't purchased an acid container system yet -- I think my PH is pretty stable, and am hoping not to need it. I have to admit I am a little nervous about...

    Can't get old drain cover off...

    Thanks for the tip -- much appreciated! I gave it a go today, but couldn't budge it. Looks like I'll need some scuba gear to get this done.

    How can I program a VS pump speed for solar in EasyTouch?

    Re: How can I program a VS pump speed for solar in EasyTouch Thank you -- it worked! Now I see the 'special' circuits in the Speeds section. I was trying to create my own solar circuit. And I found the one for Freeze, too. I did this on the panel as you suggested, but it can also be done...

    How can I program a VS pump speed for solar in EasyTouch?

    Hi -- Connected my solar sensor to my EasyTouch 4P panel today. When the solar is not running, I want to run the pump at 1250rpm. When solar is triggered, I'd like to run it at 1850rpm (this yields 32gpm according to my Flovis flow meter). I can't figure out how to program this. I can...

    Can't get old drain cover off...

    I'm trying to replace my old drain cover with an SDX Retro. But I can't get the old one off. There's no screws in the screwholes, and I've tried to twist it off, but no luck. Do you think it's glued in place? Anyone familiar with this type of cover...
